We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

In early correspondence regarding the proposed experimentation, Mr. Carskadon said* "Our aim in this whole project is to explore television as a medium for carrying to the public the results of the Twentieth Century Fund research surveys. "Mare specifically we are interested to see if the educational television stations offer a fruitful line of cooperation for us in their ability to handle our type of material and bring it before an interested and sympathetic audience." Jones emphasized that the University is extremely anxious to take part in such "ex¬ plorations into television's unknown." "Certainly," he said, "efforts like these are essential in determining more about television's vast potential and in assuring that it will become a mature and respohsible medium."
